Giving my first Rolex to dad.
I’ve always wanted to give my dad a Rolex. When I got my Pepsi in the summer, I thought that I wanted to give him my first watch which is Submariner as a gift. When I told him, he was so excited! I love my Rolexes equally and I hope he will love it as much as I do! Hopefully he can take care of it for me. :)

I did this with my dad. He wore the watch (Omega Seamaster) I gave him for 13 years. He passed away earlier this year and the watch found its way back. It holds a very special place. It won’t leave the family in my lifetime.

Nicely done!
Reminds me of an old teaching: He who honors his father atones for many errors...He who reveres his father will live a long life...in word and deed honor your father that his blessing may come upon you. Sirach 3 |

This is a thing I've done decades ago.
I gave my 5513 to my dad. He was so happy ... |

Usually it’s the other way around. We buy a luxury item especially a watch like a Rolex so it can be passed to our sons and or daughters. What you did is just amazing. Your dad is certainly so proud of you. Good son, god bless.
